Splitsville And Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Terminate All Employees Due To Temporary Closure

The temporary closure of Walt Disney World Resort has brought about a lot of hardship and trouble for many people. A number of restaurants have actually terminated all their employees due to the threat of the coronavirus with Splitsville and Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ being the latest.

Already, Landry’s has released all employees from its Walt Disney World locations which includes T-REX Cafe, both locations of the Rainforest Cafe, and Yak & Yeti. Now, Splitsville and Homecomin’ have also followed the example and have let all of their employees go.

While employees will not be paid for remaining shifts, the companies are stating this is being done so that the workers can collect on unemployment.

Here is the official statement from Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’:

“The information regarding government mandates and operating restrictions are changing on a daily basis. No one is able to say when we will be able to open again. When looking at all the directives that have been issued during the crisis, and understanding there will be many more to come, it is our opinion that we will not be able to re-open our restaurants for quite some time. We are very sorry to say that we do not know when we will be able to offer you any work hours. Based upon these set of circumstances, we are forced to make the decision to terminate the employment of all our employees, effective immediately. We believe this decision is necessary in an effort to be able to open our doors again in the future. We understand this is difficult, but with no work available in the near future, we feel this will allow all staff members to take advantage of their unemployment benefits and any other government assistance that will come available because of the crisis.”
